pronounced success. The plays presented
we're all new to the large audience, and
were performed in oreditable taste The
receipts Of the evening were very satlSiac-

In difficulty last Thursday near
Georges Camp Ground, between Sam
Wainwright, ir., and Chris. kiSs'nger, IN
which Docket-kuives were used somewhat
freely, Kssinger received several pain
full wounds in the abdomen and breast
while Sans wearing apparel was more or
less mutilated. Sam was arrested oatur
day, charged with assault with intent to
kill, and gave bond for his appearance be-
fore Squire Pelham last Tuesday, at
which time the examination was con
timed until to-day. Llter.-From the
evidence given before the examining court
the first charge was not considered sus-
tanned, and the defendant was adludged
to be guilty only Of an assault and battery

Creek township, and Martin Krssinger,
we've arrested by Sheriff Hall last Friday
5ug,, on a charge of false imprisonment
'".ave bond for their appearance be-
I .%.SSNSquire Collins on last Wednesday,
(which time the case was postponed till
Saturday. Kissinger, who had voIun-
teered to assist Ward iu the arrest of Sam
Wainwright, mentioned elsewhere halted
George Gordon on the public highway,
compelled him to throw up his hands and
submit to detention, while the rest of the
posse pursued and arrested Wainwright
They claimed that Gordon was intending
60 inform Wainwright of their approach
and thus allow him to evade them Cor.
don maintains that such was not the case,
Z and that his arrest was without warrant
of law, hence the charge of false imprison-
ment. Since the above was put in type
the defendants appeared before Squire
Collins and took 4 change of venue to
Squire NJ. F. KinDey's court, IN this
Piney Fork-township.
